At the very least, we can assist Iranian citizens in evading digital censorship and surveillance.

That's not their problem. Their problem is an oppressive government and people who can't get organized enough to make a difference, very similar to the US.

No one outside of Iran can solve their problems for them, just like no one outside of the US can solve US problems.

Thanks for bringing the parallels in the US to my attention. Really, I had no idea that the US was so similar to Iran. You are doing this this topic a great service by not using hyperbole.

Suppose that there was an American handball player who was incarcerated unfairly, say, for bringing Schedule 1 drugs for personal use into the United States, how exactly would/should anyone outside of the United States apply public pressure to secure their release?

In large part due to the aforementioned censorship and surveillance.
